MOUNT MORRIS, Pa. (May 25,
2008) -- Team MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro
Taper’s Dustin Wimmer earned the Suspension
Systems Holeshot Award and led every lap to take
the win in the first moto of the Pro ATV racing
program Sunday at High Point Raceway. The event
was part of the ATV Stampede, Round 6 of the ITP
Tires/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA National Motocross
Championship Series.
Wimmer held off Can-Am's Jeremy Lawson
throughout the moto to net the victory. Jeremy
Lawson was second on a Can-Am. Rounding out the
podium was two-time and defending AMA Pro
Champion Joe Byrd, who passed Josh Creamer (No.
9 Team Monster Energy Kawasaki) early in the
event.
“The track was in great shape; Racer
Productions did a good job with this race,” said
Wimmer. “My Suzuki got me out front early and
everything went well.”
Wimmer fought through tightening muscles in
his arms during the event.
“I had arm pump in practice so I was a little
worried about it,” added Wimmer. “I just got
tight for a while, but I concentrated on keeping
a steady pace and not letting my lead get too
small. Everything is working well, so we aren’t
making any changes for moto two.”
The second moto is scheduled to start 3 p.m.
